Thanks for 100 followers! I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge all of the people who've I've met through AOTY and have helped me get to where I am. Couldn't have done it without you!

Eh. I can only describe this project as a tamer version of 100 Gecs, and since I'm with the crowd that really dislikes their brand of experimental music, that's not a good thing.
I mean, it's not outright awful. They've successfully managed to bring the Obnoxious Meter down from the Gecs' appalling record-high to something that's very nearly tolerable. The production is that slightly annoying, overly bright type that I just know will have no longevity and'll probably start inducing headaches ... read more

Lil Pump is the greatest musician alive. You could even say he's the Frank Zappa of our generation. He is not just another manufactured rap star, he is a complete artist. He is not someone that is being controlled by a record label. Pump is singlehandedly one of the most innovative and unique rap artists of this decade.
He is a melodic genius, his beats are experimental, innovative, unique, he isn't afraid to experiment, he is constantly evolving and changing his style. Lil Pump, from the ... read more

[TWICE Marathon #10]
Pleased to say that I think they've improved upon the original EP with Summer Nights. What is Love? is still by far the best on offer here, but the new a-side, Dance The Night Away, is a really fun track nonetheless. The melody is addicting! Granted, I've come to expect that from TWICE, but they don't disappoint. It's also interesting to note that they've followed a very typical K-Pop song structure (even more typical than normal, I mean) with the drop and all, but they ... read more

I've really been looking forward to TWICE's 2018 run, and here we are. They released no less than four albums and two reissues this year. Jesus Christ. Starting off strong, we've got one of TWICE's catchiest title tracks (and easily one of my favorite K-Pop songs of all time), What is Love? Every time I hear those intro chords, I smile like a fucking maniac. It's everything I look for in happy, uplifting bubblegum pop. The production sparkles and the vocals are really sweet ... read more

It's always strange to think that I've spent the better part of my lifetime with the Minecraft soundtrack, and yet it's only been a few months since I first decided to sit down and listen to it in full. I'll be honest—this review was difficult to write. The music is tied so inextricably to my experiences with the game; is it a great standalone record, or is nostalgia clouding my perception of it? I've asked myself that question over the years more times than I can count, and I've yet to ... read more

Hello, I hope you're having a good day. I am reaching out in regards to my next AOTY Icon Interview. If you're unfamiliar with the series I crowdsource for questions. This time around for January 2021 edition, I will be interviewing PipePanic. The question is, what is a music-related question you can ask Pipe. Please refrain from asking questions as simple as "What is your favorite album?" Please also refrain from asking for thoughts about a specific album or asking joke questions. I ask that you ask something thought-provoking and ambiguous. I will be selecting the best questions to ask Pipe. If you can't think of any questions, you have a week to think about it. I also recommend checking my shoutbox before asking the question just to verify it hasn't been asked already. All participants will be credited for their questions. The interview will be posted by the end of the month. Thank you!

Hello friend, I hope you're having a great day! If you have any interest in participating in a list I'm making, here's the prompt:
Aliens have come down from a previously unknown planet, and touch down right in front of your house. You come outside, and they speak English somehow, but they ask you for one thing- to give them a human album. You have an MP3 player, but it only can hold one album of any length. You can give the aliens any album for any reason, but please explain why you chose the album you chose.
Thank you for answering (if you do), and have a great day!
